about me !
 
personality.  
(+) kind, innocent, observant, laidback, smart
(-) cold, detached, clumsy, insecure, disorganized
 
a year ago, she was involved in a car accident, which caused her to lose her memories. because of this, she makes it a point to maintain a withdrawn facade in front of others, using this as an excuse not to make any friends as she fears losing them. to protect herself of losing her beloved ones, she develop an unwillingness to connect with other people on an emotional level.
she's the type who attuned to her surroundings. hyunra is considerate of others. if she notices that a coworker comes into the cafe with mismatched shoes, for instance, she might deduce from this detail that the person left the house in a rush and maybe isn't having the mest morning. so it might not be the most convenient moment to bring up the person's tasks.
reports that the human brain experiences heightened creativity when it's relaxed. so because she's a relax type, she never run out of idea to make everything better when problems come. add the fact that she's intelligent as well, you will see she's actually a good problem solver.
later through the journey she experienced in dkml and helped by other workers also jamong and their parents, she's slowly break out of her sell. she become someone who imply a sympathetic attitude toward others, and a willingness to do good. she's also show her patience, willing to share some of her thoughts, non-judgmental, open-minded but still reserved, and has ideas that are based on improving the world and specifically, helping those in need.
however, her life is full of struggles. well, tripping on sidewalks and pretending like nothing happened is an everyday thing for a clumsy like her. also after the accident which caused her lose her memories, she starts to question her self-worth that she feels really lonely on her mind. not to mention, her friends only visited her when she was in hospital. they barely reach her nowadays. the accident also makes her become a hoarder. she wants to try every little thing happened on her life, thus she keep every thing on her bedroom. step inside that room and you'll see a storage which look like a wrecked ship.
 
background.  
before the accident, hyunra was relatively popular in her workplace as her pleasant disposition made her amiable and easy to get along with. not only in her workplace, but she also still had a great relationship with her friends since primary school. you can say she was a social butterfly. one day she made a promise to her mother to visit her in hoyang after spending years in seoul. yup, after graduating high school, she went to seoul and had her bachelor's degree as well as working there. however, when rushing to meet her mother, she was caught in a car accident. this accident spurred her memory loss issue and she started to forget all those around her.
to counter the pain of becoming emotionally lonely, hyunra decided to detach herself from others as much as possible, hence erasing her chances of making any more friends. this led to her being a lone wolf. another painful fact though, none of her friends reaching her out. she only had her mom and her aunt at this point.
looking at hyunra who changed drastically after the accident, her aunt often took her to dkml. rumor said your mood will get better after visiting the cafe somehow. she wanted to at least make hyunra feel better. she thought it was a useless move as hyunra really sure nothing in the world can fix her situation. but everything changed after she met jamong.
sounds ridiculous maybe but his sassy comments managed to attract her which later, lead her to develop a crush towards him. she became a regular visitor in the cafe. when she heard that dkml looking for an employee, she applied right away. it'd be a great chance to get to know jamong more and maybe... the start of her new life? she needs to stop moping around her house and get back to her old life.
 
lifestyle.  
she wakes up 2 hours before her work hour start. during this time, she will go for a quick wash-up, have breakfast at home with her family, then walk to dkml. on lunch time, at the beginning she might chose to secluded herself from others, eat her food while reading book, but as the story progress, she'll open up more and join the other staff while munching her food. when her shift's done, she'll go straight to her home. but again, after she break her shell, she will go to have some fun when another staff persuade her.
on day offs, she might chill in her house or watch a movie in theatre alone because she likes to have her me-time moment. later in the story, sometimes she will hang out with other staffs (or jamong maybe? lol).
 
trivia.  
- because of the accident, she develop a trauma and always refuse to get into a car. better walking though it's a far distance rather than drive
- during her day offs, she can sleep for over 10 hours. yes a sleepy head she is
- hyunra loves to eat jelly
- quite good at cooking everything except seaweed soup
- one of her quirks : hyunra likes to touch her friends' . so you better be careful around this girl ;)
- she's not a big fan of working out. her favorite is only swimming because... she won't get sweat
- she has an ig account @hyunra_d. she tries hard to remember some of her memories through pictures and videos she uploaded there in the past
- drawing is her hobby
- before working, she will eat a peppermint candy
- she is an ambidextrous
- she likes coffee but she doesn't like buying coffee from shops. she thinks the authentic taste of coffee has gone because shops usually modified their taste. better brewing her own coffee.
- "i'm on a journey to find my memories."
- "regretting what already happened won't solve anything."
- "jellies, peppermint candies, and coffees make me happy."
- "there are things i don't want to forget..."
- "i always feel like i'm waiting for something."
 
it's you!
 

 

when hyunra lived her daily life in solitude, her aunt often brought her to dkml as she said most people in hoyang's mood turned to their brighter side once they came to the cafe. there where she met jamong for the first time. jamong with his sassiness told how pathetic hyunra was because she wasted her time moping around instead of tried to enjoy her new life as gratitude that she had a chance to live after the accident. although she initially regards him with the same cold, detached air as she does to everyone else, he is not deterred and kept throwing some sarcastic remarks whenever hyunra and her aunt come to dkml. though jamong said those words in an unfriendly manner, hyunra realized that everything said by the guy was true. her mask began to crack and they fall into a friendly relationship, growing even closer when he brought her out to experience things she never could without a friend. their bond was getting stronger and you can say jamong started to be one of the important people in hyunra's new life. yes, slowly she developed a crush towards him.
after hyunra employed by the cafe, unfortunately, jamong remained oblivious to her hints of romantic feeling toward him, although even jadu and his parents notice them. once hyunra told jadu that she felt something in her chest when she saw jamong talking with other girls. she kept a diary, in which she recorded her conversation with him in great detail, afraid she might lose her memories again someday.
hyunra's affection for jamong is bordering on possessive at times. she cares deeply for him, fretting when he fell sick, and something like that. she was also easily made paranoid and slightly jealous, especially when he focused too much on other female worker, though she never acted on these adverse feelings.

the interview !
 
the name's jadu - it's nice to meet you. she extends her hand to shake as she sits down, then inviting you to do the same. the chairs seem to come forward to greet you as well, putting themselves at the perfect spot to meet your bottom.  hyunra shakes her hands and sits down after. her forehead wrinkled as she feels like the chair move on its own, but she quickly brush it off of her mind. "hello, mine is dae hyunra."  what else she could tell about her?
 
so we're going to be doing the interview in a tag team kind of way, thanks to the suggestion of my dumb brother (a slight eye roll is detected), and obviously i'll be starting it off! so why do you want to work here?  hyunra smiles (a forced one of course). well it's clear that she want to work there because she want to get to know jamong better but... it'd sounds unprofessional if she tells her the truth right? "well, things have been pretty hard for me this year. for some reason i can't go back to seoul and continue my old life."  her mom strictly forbid her to go far just by herself. "i realize i'm old enough and i don't want to be a burden for my mom by just staying at home. so... here i am in an attempt to get some job. i need money to ease my mom's burden."
 
okay, sounds good. she jots a few things down on her clipboard. just out of your line of vision, her words are turning into doodles, dancing around on the page. alright, then i'll call in my brother for further questioning! she flashes a small, cordial smile as she gets up from her seat.  hyunra eyes widened soon after jadu mentioned her brother. well, she isn't ready yet to meet that cute guy!! "o... okay..."
 
he enters, putting his hand up first in a still wave before reaching out for a shake. hi, i'm jamong, the better looking twi- something falls from a shelf behind him and hits him in the head. ow! you little- weirdly, he looks at the door his sister just exited from instead of at the shelf from which the object fell.  her fingers fidgeting as she sees jamong entering the room. just when she's about to reply the handshake,something weird happen again. as an observant, she looks at her surroundings carefully so of course she notice that the book fall on its own. is it just a... coincidence or maybe the construction of the building is a bit off. you know, when a building was built without a careful calculation, it can caused disaster someday. like maybe the building would collapse. she must be careful, she reminds herself. the things which moved on its own probably because the building was shaken a bit. but it's a bit weird also because she can't feel anything on her ground. "you okay?" rather than busy talk with her own mind, she chooses to open up a small convo. her aunt clearly told her to steal someone's heart, you need to be able to talk comfortably with him.
 
he rubs the back of his head as he sits down. alright, i'll just be getting right to it. what can you offer us as an employee?  she sits back on her seat. "eum... i never work in a cafe before. but i am a good cooker. i guarantee my cook is just as good as those offered in this cafe." hopefully its appealing enough. jamong's existence really ruin her focus.
 
mmm.....alright. sounds good. that's all for me, thanks for your time! he gets up from his chair, but before he can even reach the door, it bursts open. took you long enough, my boy, now get on out of here! a clean-cut, middle-aged man in a frilly apron takes the seat the younger boy had just occupied. hello, the name's hakmin. a pleasure to meet you!  she nods once, but again surprised by the fact the door opening by itself... isn't it? "ah..." it turns out the man opens the door. "hi, i'm hyunra. nice to meet you too, sir."
 
alright, if you can't tell, i can be quite impatient. so we're going to be discussing your availability. tell me what days and what hours you can work.  "well..." she's muttering under her breath. "since i am basically have no job nor anything to do, i am available almost every time. but considering i need some time for my mom... may i work during monday to friday from the time the cafe open 'till it close?" weekend is the only time where her mom get to spend her time with her. "and i'll take my day off during saturday and sunday."
 
alrighty then, we'll be taking all that into consideration. hang in there, kiddo, the interview's almost done! hakmin gives an abrupt two- salute as he gets up from his seat and opens the door to reveal his wife, wiping her damp hands on her skirt apron. oh, i was just about to check on you- there you are, beautiful! hakmin embraces the woman and kisses her on the cheek before leaving the room.  hyunra smiles a bit. maybe if her father still alive, that'd be the view she sees every morning.
 
ah, hello! my name is bok, it's a pleasure to meet you. i'm here to talk to you about what position you would like to take! what were you thinking of doing? "since i'm good at cooking and baking..." she holds up her free hand. "maybe i'll suit to work in the kitchen, the baker." she shrughs. "i am not good with social interaction so i can't imagine myself dealing much with the customers."
 
okay then, that's it for now! thanks so much again for coming in, we'll get back to you as soon as we can.  "thank you." she smiles and gets up. "hope i'll hear a good news."
time stamp !
 
final words.  i hope this isn't an incoherent mess. moreover in the love interest section, hope i can describe jamong well B")

- the other employees notice her crush towards jamong and about this.
- dkml's worker bonding time!! short vacation to nearby tourist attraction, maybe?
